CONSUL GENERAL JUSSEN.

Spscial Teleorau, to The Inter Ocean

Special Telegram to The Inter Ocean.
MADISON, Wis, May 1e.-Carl Her
mann, the jolly German proprietor of the
Park bakery, of this city, entertains a
rapidly depreciating opinion of Edmund
Jussen, United STATES consul general at
Vienna, Austria, and brother-in-law to
the skeletonized Mugwump, Carl Schurz,
all on account of an incident of recent oc-
currence, which demonstrated to him the
snobbishness of poor man elevated to
high position. Mr.. Hermann has niece
in Austria, who worked in a silk factory
owned by wealthy man named George
Kleuter, recently deceased. The girl was
left 500 by the manufacturer, circum-
stance which shows he was somewhat
interested in her welfare. Kleuter was
once resident of Wisconsin, and when
he returned to the old country be left his
wife here, for a reason unknown to Mr..
Hermann. 1t is thought that she lives
in or about Hudson, this state. Upon
the death of Kleuter, the mothee of the
factory girl went to the consul general
for the purpose of aiding him in finding
the whereabouts of Mrs. Kleuter. She
introduced herself as the sister of Carl
Hermann, of Madison, Wis, who was in
position to learn if Mrs Kleuter was at
Hudson. She had frequently heard her
brother speak of Jussen, with whom he
had said he was we'll acquainted, apd
naturally she was greatly surprised when
the consul general turned up his nose
contemptuously and stated that he had
never known any such person. Mr.. Her
mann was notified of Jussen's conduct
and it made him mad. "Wby, I fed
Jussen when he had no money, friends or
credit said the angry and disgusted
German; "but now be is stuck up like the
rest of the Mugwumps, and does not rec
ognize his old friends. He was a Repub-
lican once, but he is one of those men
who are willing to make change of prin-
ciple to advance their personal interests
or to be with the party in power. The
first time / saw Jussen was in 1854 here
in Madison. One evening | was sitting
IN front of the old Wisconsin house. long
since destroyed by fire, when poor, bare
footed young man came up and asked the
landlord, Zwickey, for something to eat.
He said he had no money, but was hun
cry. The landlord sternly replied that
he could not board people for nothing.
The stranger turned away, when l said
for [ saw that he was a German, and
my heart felt for him-'Come and get
your supper, and III pay for it. He ate
his supper, remained over night, went to
work, and few years afterward began
to study law. He studied in several diff
ferent Madison offices, finally began to
practice in Chicago, and whenever he
came to Madison made it special point
to hunt me- up and talk over old times.

That poor stranger was Edmund Jussen,
our consul general at Vienna, and to
think that be does not know me now !"
And the honest old German shook his
head in righteous disgust. "Jussen came
to Madison for rather strange reason"
continued Hermann, and the recollection
placed him in somewhat bitter humor.
He was one day guarding the sheep of
Sauk county farmer named Doty, living
near Prairie du Sac, on the Wisconsin
river, when one of the wooIy beasts got
into the river and away from him, not
withstanding the fact that he had been
expressly admonished to guard against
any such event. The circumstance so
eDraged the farmer that he started after

THE TUMBLE-WEED.
Adventure of a Party of Western Explorers
Who We're Chased by Flying Balls.

Adventure of a Party of Western Explorers
Who Were Chased by Flying Balls.
While party of explorers few
years ago were pushing their way
across one of the arid and desert tracts
of Colorado they were overtaken by
furious windstorm. The clouds accum-
ulated with marvellous rapidity, and in
comparatively a few moments an al-
most impenetrable darkness closed in
upon them. Naturally, their first
thought was shelter, but as far as the
eye could reach not tree could be
seen, and only far off in the distance
appeared what might be pile of rocks
OF powders.
Toward this their horses were quickly
turned, and as they approached the
supposed protection, to their astonish-
ment it seemed to move, and soon re-
solved itself into number of balls OF
large size, that, under the advance
gusts of the storm, began to gyrate
about in remarkable manner. Now
fierce gust struck them and, as ii
some mighty shell had exploded. the
balls rolled away in every direction
over the plain, accompanying their
motion with a strange cracking sound.
What had appeared to be shelter had
now become an additional danger. The
rolling balls alarmed the horses. The
party, turning about, was soon in a wild
race before the storm, and before the
crashing balls that would now roll
swiftly and evenly along, then striking
some obstacle, bound into the air like
living things, go whirling about, and
come down hundreds of feet away, to
bounce along in the same erratic man
ner. For several miles this race was
kept up, only ceasing when the storm
had spent it's fury. The explorers then
stopped to investigate, and found that
the balls were plants, and that this was
one of the many wonderful ways
adopted by nature to secure the dis
persal of the dependents.
The plant in the Colorado country
is known as the great tumble-weed. It
is six feet or more across and four or
five feet high, and grows in the shape
"a " hdIICAOu . pIItIo. IL udS very uo1-
icate and fragile roots that barely hold
it in the dry soil. When it goes to seed
it dries and becomes remarkably brit
tie. Then the tops bend in together,
and give the plant still more spherical
form. The roots die and wither, so
that the first gust of wind sewers their
connection with the soil, and away
they go, often collecting in vast
numbers, SO that, when piled
together, resembling lodges of
rocks, as we have seen, they are ready
to break up and roll away with the first
with gale. The force which these plants
strike is astonishing. A horse or tent
could easily be knocked over, and loss
of life would probably attend their
movements if they could not be avoid
ed These migrat1ons are not without
purpose, as during them the seeds,
that are held loosely, are scattered over
miles of country, insuring future
crop of the plants.-SaCiss Cross.
